MEXICO:

Tijuana is a mecca for no chemo cancer treatment. This city’s location right on the border with the United States makes it ideal for people who wish to get alternative cancer treatments while still spending the night in an American city (San Diego, which is located right next door to Tijuana). Be aware that a few of the cancer treatment facilities in Tijuana listed below also offer standard chemotherapy and radiation treatments, but all of them offer integrative medicine and alternative cancer cures worth looking into either as stand-alone treatments or in tandem with a standard oncology treatment plan (depending on your tastes).

The Hoxsey Clinic offers an herbal treatment that’s affordable for even tight budgets. Patients can travel to the clinic for diagnosis as well as treatment which includes an herbal tea + lifestyle recommendations. Patients can then return home with the treatment and plan to return to Tijuana for a follow-up visit 6 months later. One of my favorite things about this clinic is that it’s easy to connect with a real person to guide you through their treatment process right from the beginning. They have a very human approach to treating cancer.

The Gerson Therapy protocol involves a special diet and lifestyle recommendations. This no chemo cancer treatment is one that people can opt to do from the comfort of home.Learning resources are available online to help people learn the Gerson Basics from anywhere in the world. The diet involves a lot of fresh fruit juices (freshly made) using organic fruits and vegetables along with coffee enemas and a variety of supplements to hyper-nourish and detoxify the body and rebuild the immune system so that the patient’s own body can fight the cancer.

Gerson was one of the first to offer an alternative cancer treatment that showed results superior to chemotherapy. Despite Gerson’s excellent track record at treating cancer without chemotherapy, the U.S. government failed to support his treatment strategy opting instead to promote the interest of Big Pharma to the American public.

Cost: $18,995 for 3 weeks (out-patient program-does not include specialty meds or other special services or lodging) OR $30,000 for 3 weeks (in-patient program—does not include specialty meds or other special services)

In-patient facility or rooms available: YES (additional cost) (patients can also opt to stay in a hotel during their treatment)

Cost: I inquired about cost, but the CHIPSA Hospital wouldn’t give me information about cost. I asked if they could even give me a range in terms of price, but the customer service representative said I’d have talk to a doctor about my specific cancer diagnosis to receive that information.

UPDATE: Two months after contacting this clinic for prices, I am still receiving sales calls and emails pressuring me to contact them. Below is an example of one of the emails I recently received:

You just missed your call with the doctor. I hope everything is ok?

Please let me know.

The doctor is interested in speaking with you about your condition.

Thank you,

CHIPSA Hospital

Obviously, I do not have an appointment with a doctor at CHIPSA because I don’t have cancer. So I view this email as manipulative and I feel that some patients may experience anxiety when they receive it. If you decide to contact this hospital for information, be aware that they may pressure you to choose their facility and that they aren’t transparent in regard to their rates.

American Holistic Care is located next to and works in tandem with American BioDental, a facility that provides affordable holistic dental care (such as biological dentistry to remove mercury fillings, for example). One of my favorite things about American Holistic Care is that you can choose your course of treatment based on your budget. There isn’t a requirement to purchase a full package of treatment options so patients who are working on a budget can still gain access to certain alternative cancer treatments, but they don’t have to purchase a large package to do it. Their treatment options include: chelation and IV therapy, hyperthermia therapies, dendritic cell therapy, vitamins and minerals, nutritional therapy, psychological therapy, and holistic dental care.

American Holistic Care offers Hyperthermic Peritoneal Chemotherapy for the treatment of cancers that are difficult to cure using other therapies. According to the American Holistic Care facility, the types of cancer that benefit most from Hyperthermic Peritoneal Chemotherapy include colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, appendiceal cancer, cancers from mesothelioma or pseudomyxoma peritonei (also known as peritoneal carcinomatosis).

Oasis of hope creates a personalized treatment plan that uses integrative medicine as well as chemotherapy and radiation treatment options. Be aware that this is NOT a no-chemo cancer treatment facility though they do offer a wide range of no-chemo cancer treatments. The initial course of treatment lasts approximately 24 days over the course of 3 months. A follow-up program provides you with support during and after the initial treatment. Click here to read one woman’s diary of 18 spent at Oasis of Hope to cure cancer.

In addition to the standard chemo and radiation treatment options, Oasis of Hope offers a wide variety of natural and integrative treatments as well.

Oasis of Hope was founded in 1963 by Dr. Ernesto Contreras, a pathologist and oncologist and one of the early leaders in integrative medicine cancer cures. He researched hundreds of treatments to develop a protocol to help cancer patients. He was an early pioneer in using laetrile therapy.

Oasis of Hope offers financing options for patients who can’t afford to pay for treatment out-of-pocket, however I wasn’t able to find any information about the cost of treatment at the Oasis of Hope web site and I wasn’t able to send an email to anyone to ask just a few simple questions without filling out a full questionnaire about a medical diagnosis and other personal information. If any readers out there have this information (or an approximation of this information), please share because others would benefit from knowing the cost range!

Envita is an integrative cancer treatment facility that differs from other U.S. cancer treatment centers in its approach to treating this disease. Patients go to the Envita treatment center for a 2 to 3 hour consultation ($450) with a doctor after which they get lab tests ($2000-$9000 depending on the doctor’s recommendation) conducted to determine the specific biomarkers associated with their cancer. It takes 2 to 3 weeks to receive information back from these lab tests, but after the results come back, a treatment plan is developed and patients return to Scottsdale for 8 to 12 weeks of treatment using a variety of strategies including Genetically Targeted Fractionated Chemotherapy (GTFC), phytotherapeutics, and nutritional therapies. The cost of treatment is between $80,000 – $90,000 depending on the severity of the cancer. Patients stay in hotels or other forms of lodging during their stay in Arizona.

Envita does not contract with insurance providers so as not to be limited by insurance requirements in treating cancer. Patients will not be able to reimbursed by insurance companies for treatment they receive at Envita.

GTFC is an alternative chemotherapy treatment, so please note that this is NOT a no-chemo cancer treatment option. Envita still offers conventional chemotherapy treatments to patients. They also offer IV’s, detoxification and immunotherapy drugs to rebuild the immune system. Rather, it’s a U.S. cancer treatment facility that uses a different approach to cancer treatment that involves low-dose chemotherapy, which is less toxic on the body.

The Nature Works Best web site was down for several days during the time when I was researching information for this article. I was able to find out that the facility offers treatments that have to do with baking soda and systemic alkalinity in the body as well as Vitamin C Injections and nutritional therapy.

Lativa is where the RigVir cancer vaccine was first developed. If you’re shopping for a no-chemo cancer cure that’s affordable, your best bet might be to travel directly to Latvia with a medical tourism agency to get the full course of the Rigvir vaccine. RigVir has been used to successfully treat melanoma (even stage IV melanoma) as well as a long list of other types of cancers including: sarcomas such as lymphosarcoma, angiosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, reticulosarcoma, liver cancer, glioblastoma, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, uterine cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, stomach cancer, colon cancer, and rectal cancer. RigVir is not recommended for the treatment of lymphoma but it’s been used to treat a wide variety of different types of cancer and it can be used to prevent cancer as well.

For overseas patients traveling to Latvia, RigVir is offered through the Global Virotherapy Cancer Center. Staff members at the center speak excellent English.

Treatment with the RigVir vaccine at the Global Virotherapy Cancer Center through Medical Tourism Center International includes airport pick-up and a 1-week stay at the clinic in Jurmala (a resort town with plenty of beaches) as well as a recommended course of treatment determined by oncologists and immunologists using the RigVir vaccine (treatment typically involves 3 vials). You’ll receive a daily consultation with an oncologist and an immunologist who will observe the course of your treatment with the cancer vaccine. Other specialists such as psychologists, physiologists, art therapists, body and mind experts, and acupuncturists will also be available to ensure best results from the use of the cancer vaccine. Meals will be recommended by a local nutritionist based on your specific treatment recommendations.

The Gerson Health Centre, located just 30 km from Budapest, is Europe’s only licensed Gerson treatment center at the time of this writing. Patients bring a companion and stay at the health center for 2 weeks to learn the Gerson therapy so that they continue to use it at home. The staff primarily speaks English but other languages are also available including Romanian, German, Hungarian, and Italian.

In addition to the nutritional and lifestyle therapies offered at all Gerson Clinics, the Gerson Health Centre in Hungary also offers psychotherapy, yoga, reflexology, homeopathy, naturopathic treatments, acupuncture, and relaxation exercises.

Patients are advised to go directly to the clinic rather than trying to email or call for more information about treatment. The Men-Tsee-Khang Clinic is open Monday through Friday from 10:00AM to 3:00 PM. They’re closed on Saturdays.

Dr. Yeshi Dhonden has cured many incurable diseases including cancer using Tibetan Medicine. If the patient cannot travel themselves because they are too ill, family or friends can bring medical reports to the Men-Tsee-Khang Clinic along with the patient’s first morning urine as a sample. A 2 to 3-day old urine sample will work.

Hello Dawn,
Do you know of forums (besides yours) where patients go to search for alternative cancer therapies? We are putting together a small therapeutic center for end-stage cancer patients where a new nutritional therapy will be used that was very successful on stage 4 cancers. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Where will your treatment center be located and what treatments will be offered? Please feel free to put information about your treatments, address, and contact information here in the comments section for others to read… Thank you!
